Coaching, Counseling, Self Help and Treatment Centers

Being bulimic doesn’t have to mean forever. You can find a bulimia treatment that will lead you to lasting recovery, just like it did for me.

There are many treatment options that you can choose from, depending on the severity of your disorder, your locale and needs. Often several eating disorder treatments combined are the best way to help overcome the emotional, physical, and psychological aspects of your condition.

Bulimia is a highly destructive disease that affects the mental state along with the entire body. It will deplete the nervous, digestive, immune, and emotional systems the longer it is left untreated. And if you are like I was, the level of stress increases the longer you keep your problem hidden.

Finding Your Bulimia Treatment

It is not difficult to locate the right bulimia treatment for you, but it may take a little work before you find just the right thing that will work for you. You can ask for referrals from your general practitioner or therapist, research the many online resources in and around where you live, or if you are a student, contact your campus counseling or medical center.

Recovery from bulimia will have its ups and downs. But with the right food addiction treatment, you will see the end in sight as you take the journey towards permanent health and recovery.

The most popular form of food addiction treatment is through cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), which solves emotional and behavior problems through a goal-oriented protocol. There are many different ways to experience bulimia nervosa treatment therapies such as in the following settings:

One-on-one treatment – providing a safe and private atmosphere with a tailored system of recovery guided by a professional therapist.Group therapy – where you can share and learn from others with the same condition under the guidance of a trained therapist.Family therapy – where a therapist works with your entire family to help further a more in-depth healing procedure. This is especially good for teens who live at home.Remote/phone session treatment – allow you to work one-on-one in a private setting from the comfort of your home.

Hundreds of support groups exist across the country and around the world. The largest group, Overeaters Anonymous, is based upon the 12 step programs like Alcoholics Anonymous. Support groups can be used individually and in conjunction with other therapies to provide self-help while also giving you a strong supportive network that you can trust during recovery.

There are several self-help treatments that can be powerful adjuncts to conventional therapy. Here are a few:

Hypnosis – where the subconscious receives positive messages for healing.Visualization – where you learn how to access positive images that attract a healthful reality.The Law of Attraction – where you learn to change your thinking patterns in order to attract health, abundance, love, and positive energy.Meditation – learn how to calm your mind in order to take the focus off food, your body, and other problems while connecting you to your higher self.

Alternative bulimia treatments can also be essential tools to use alongside your conventional therapy. Some include:

Acupuncture – balances energy and creates internal balance.Aromatherapy – which uses specific herbs to promote health and internal balance.Yoga – connect the body and mind through specific postures and breathing protocols to promote health, internal balance, and a peaceful connection to life.Meditation – create a mindful awareness and to strengthen focus on positive thoughts and images.Visualization – where you use your imagination to create and focus on positive images for healing.

One thought on “Treatment Options”

Just finished reading the book. Received it from amazon a few days ago. I work at an eating disorder treatment center and have had my own experiences with bulimia. The book hit close to home and really describes treatment centers in an accurate light. I was surprised by the ending, I was crying by then, though I am glad you didn’t write a sugary-sweet closing just to sum things up. Your book left me thinking about something I have often wondered about in my own ongoing recovery. Why do some of us get better and some of us don’t? Thanks for the courage to put it all out there and highlighting the recovery isn’t as simple as going to treatment and getting better.
